I'd bet that local permissions (at the tfpt client end) are the problem.

My guess is that you've downloaded that file as root to your home
directory before, so you now have a pxelinux.0 in your home directory
owned by root, and wvk can't write to it, but root can.  The log message
is a distraction.
